Arsène Kouassi
LOR
Four crosses made
Kouassi had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Monaco. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.
Analysis: Kouassi played the full 90 minutes Sunday, sending in four crosses, winning a tackle and helping preserve the clean sheet. He has played every minute of the league campaign so far and has been a key part of the club's strong defensive start. Through seven appearances, he has contributed to four clean sheets while recording 10 clearances, seven tackles and eight interceptions.
One shot in 1-0 win
Kouassi recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Paris FC.
Analysis: Kouassi made four interceptions, most by any player in the match. It was the first occasion in the league campaign where the 22-year-old made two or more clearances. Other than that, Kouassi provided two crosses and both were accurate.
Assists in defeat
Kouassi assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Le Mans. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.
Analysis: Kouassi made the decisive attacking contribution for Lorient, driving forward and delivering a ground cross that Jensen finished, though a deflection helped it on its way in. His 0.70 expected assists across five matches this season reflect consistent creative threat from the left wing back position, and his eight chances created highlight an attacking output that goes beyond his one direct contribution. The yellow card picked up early in the match will be worth monitoring given his next fixture against Paris FC, who sit third following the international break, is already a difficult enough task without disciplinary concerns.
Records assist
Kouassi assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory against Metz.
Analysis: The assist marks Kouassi's sixth this season. He has been a solid wing-back for Lorient, with not only his six assists but also 115 crosses (20 accurate), 36 corners and 30 chances created in 30 appearances.
